Where are my recordings?

Zoom Cloud Recordings

If you recorded the meeting in the cloud, you'll receive an email when the recording is ready. It will be here: https://mit.zoom.us/recording (Touchstone Authentication Required). The email will also include a sharing link that you can distribute via Slack, email or other sites.

Local Recordings

Each meeting recording is saved on your local disk to its own folder named with the date, time, and meeting name. By default, these folders are located in Documents > Zoom on Windows, MacOS, and Linux.
